NYPD Red Series: Book 8
Publication Date: November 25, 2025
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Marshall Karp comes the next installment in the endlessly thrilling NYPD Red series.
It’s 11:59.
And the city that never sleeps is afraid to get out of bed.
A bomb explodes in a crowded New York subway station at exactly 11:59 a.m. The next day, a second blast rips through a busy department store—again at 11:59.
As the bombs go off with clockwork precision, the death toll climbs and businesses shut their doors as the city hunkers down in fear.
NYPD Red Detectives Kylie MacDonald and Zach Jordan face their most twisted case ever, as they race against the clock in search of one man who has vowed “to destroy New York City the way it destroyed my family.”
When a bomb goes off in New York City, it revives fears of 9/11 and a sense of insecurity.
Author Marshall Karp delivers a tightly woven suspense thriller in NYPD Red 8: The 11:59 Bomber. Detectives Kylie MacDonald and Zach Jordan must race against time as a cunning mastermind wreaks havoc in their beloved city.
The detectives find themselves juggling another case with personal ramifications that serves as a good balance to the main plot. Even for readers new to the series, the author provides sufficient details to bridge the gap.
From a development standpoint, the characters are multifaceted. Readers get valuable insight into the personal lives of the detectives, which also provides an opportunity for humor. The twisted mind of the culprit also proves to be well-crafted.
NYPD Red 8: The 11:59 Bomber offers a richly constructed, all-too-realistic tale of suspense.
